Multiple cities per planet

[Darth Reven]

It would be cool if you could go to differnt cities on one planet and you would have to choose when you were flying in to a planet. I do relize that on some planets this would not be possibel like corusant wich is all one big city, but then you would not always land in the same docking bay. This could help to provide some variety.

[Grand_Commander13]

Wow, this is actually a good idea. KOTOR 1 was boring as far as the cities went, because there was exactly one city we could go to per HUGE planet.

 

Needless to say, quite a few people would like to either have multiple landing spots, or at least more interesting single cities.

 

Though I doubt you'd have multiple cities, as they could only really be topped off with unique side quests, which would make the game too long (though I'd enjoy a longer game).

[Darth Reven]

Wow, this is actually a good idea.

 

Thx

Great idea. In fact, this may already be implemented. The devs said one of the biggest innovations in TSL over KotOR was the fact that planets were less linear due to the fact that there are much more sub locations. Perhaps these cities serve as sub locations. I remember them mentioning something about "planets" as being an inaccurate name, although the term is still used as we associate it with the KotOR formula.

I don't see how this would be possible in KotOR2 since the developers have clearly stated that the maps will be the same size (probably due to limitation within the engine). Maybe if they made more maps, but that would double or triple the size of the game..

[Darth Reven]

Yes it would make the game much larger, And wouldn't that make it better.

By sub locations I'm sure they mean underground, building. Like Taris, had the upper south and upper north or whatever four appartments sewers and two cantinas.

More area's + more quests = longer game play hours

 

Now who does not want that..... They can rival the FF crap in game hours

[mastaGAW]

This is a great idea.

[TSAdmiral]

The more the better. I say bring it on.

[LoneWolf16]

I can safely say that, though KOTOR had some diverse maps of medium size, it just wasn't enough for me. It got old after awhile, still pleasing in that, "wow, exotic" way, but not quite so much after the fifth time through them.

 

Obsidian is making bigger maps, and they seem to be as diverse as the originals, but the idea you've got would make one hell of a difference in replay value...IMHO...

[Adria Teksuni]

Well, I know in one area you land on the planet, then have to make your way to a Sith Temple, which I believe is underground, so it would follow that extensive multilevel maps like Taris are in the game.

[nik_bg]

The idea is OK, but it means one more year of designers work.

[Adria Teksuni]

?

 

It's been in production for more than a year. K2 has been in development since well before K1 was released.

[Darth Reven]

How long has it been in production?

[Adria Teksuni]

Not sure exactly. The only info I've ever been able to get is "well before the release of KoTOR1".

 

Pfft, tight mouthed blokes, aren't they?

[HalasterBlack]

Not really, it would just maybe double the amount of area in the game, I really don't see where that matters at all.

seriously, lets just make the game morrowind with lightsabers

And spaceships, lol

[nik_bg]

Adria Teksuni,

 

Let say K2 has 7-8 different location and will be completed in e.g. 18 months. This is approximately 2-3 months per location. Make your own conclusions how much we have to wait if we want new locations in addition to the implemented ones - the game will never go to stores !!!

[Adria Teksuni]

*shrug* I was simply responding to the poster who said that the game had been in development a year.

 

Still, I don't see how that would be impossible to do, and do well, in the years given to Obsidian, considering that they didn't have to build a new engine.

[Nightvol]

well, i really would like a game that would take about 100 hours of gameplay if you only make what you have to and over 120 hours if you go everywhere - now that's what I would like in a game - but the lenght should not be made up by conversation(i am not talking about a game with minimal conversation, no the conversation is cool, especially the funny one ) or by having to go again and again to the same location like i have done the first time i played through KotOR - i wouldn't like a liniar game either - well i guess i am hard to please

Great idea.

[Darth Ravok]

I like this idea

[Grand_Commander13]

Ravok, stop this spamming. You just copied "I like this idea" and pasted it into like ten threads. Why don't you actually contribute to the discussion (all of which had passed beyond the "I like/dislike this idea" phase)?
